Chapter 879
Chongzheng Hall, the summoning is still continuing.
Zhao Ji gave a few more instructions before he finished his question with Ji Yi.
The edict that formally appointed him as the envoy of the Great Food Kingdom would soon be issued through the Secretariat. The letter to the Great Food Kingdom Caliph and the Seljuk Sultan was drafted by the Hanlin Bachelor. His literary talent was very good, and he guaranteed that neither the Caliph nor the Sultan could understand it.
The gifts have also been prepared, including "Oil Paintings of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty" and "Oil Paintings of Confucius" painted by Zhang Zeduan, fine porcelain produced by Ru Kiln, exquisite Jiangnan silk, and hardcover versions of "Theory of Heaven and the Rules", "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "The Book of Rites", "The Book of Taoism", etc.
By the way, these precious national gifts were not only one, but the same eight were prepared and loaded on eight warships. According to Wu Haogu's words, it was to prevent the ship from sinking in Shanghai and being lost... In fact, it was to give part of them to the kings of India or Europe.
Ji Yi is a great diplomat. He finally went on a long trip, so why did he have to go to more countries? If possible, Wu Haogu also hoped that Ji Yi and Li Gang could travel around the European countries. So he had to prepare a few more gifts.
"Your Majesty," said Zhang Yuan to Zhao Ji. "The great education regiment is ready, and the troops have gathered 3,000 people, and more than 5 million have been raised with money. Monks, Taoists, and doctors have also gathered hundreds of people.
In addition, the Great Education and Reform Group has also prepared a set of principles for the integration of the three religions."
"The three religions are united?" Zhao Ji has heard this word more than once. Because of the prosperity of Buddhism and Taoism, the dominant Confucian scholars had to fight to defend their faith. However, because Confucianism cannot perfectly explain the things that people urgently want to know about, such as the souls of heaven, earth, universe, and souls, it is impossible to resist the erosion of religion on people's hearts. Only then did it have the route of integrating the three Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
"How do you explain?" Zhao Ji asked.
"There was the law of heaven in the beginning, and at the same time, there were Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism governing the family and country, Buddhism transformed human hearts, and Tao follows nature. The three religions were of the same origin, and all came from the law of heaven..."
"Isn't this putting the law of nature at the highest?" Zhao Ji frowned, "Monk, can Taoists agree?"
"It is impossible to agree in the Central Plains," Wu Hao Gudao, "but in the Western Regions, we have to agree. Otherwise, how can the large-scale education and transformation group be carried out? Could it be that the three religions will fight first? If that is the case, we will still reason with the Tianfang Sect like this?"
"That's right, that's all." Zhao Ji thought about it, and then said, "Zhang Qing, you must remember one thing. The war with the Khitan within ten years of the Song Dynasty. At least the Hexi and Anxi must remain neutral."
Zhang Yuan said: "I will definitely try to direct the attention of the King of Xiping brothers to India. India is tens of thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, but the country is rich and the soldiers are weak. If the King of Xiping brothers to enter India, they may return all the Hexi versions to His Majesty."
In the Song Dynasty, Ah San Kingdom was the only rich land in the world that could be compared with the Central Plains. Moreover, there was no power in Ah San Kingdom. The Kaseni Dynasty had already weakened. Besides, they were also invaders. They also had endless tug-of-war with Ah San Kingdoms that believed in Buddhism and Brahmin Kingdoms. At present, Buddhism has not yet completely passed the streets in India. In later generations, there was a Polo dynasty with Buddhism as the state religion in Bengal and the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges. The famous Buddhist holy land Nalanda Temple also exists and is protected by the Polo dynasty.
If the Buddhist King Xiping marched into the northwest of India, he could have formed an alliance with the Polo dynasty. The declining Kaseni dynasty was simply vulnerable.
Once they enter the northwest India, the Western thieves are rats who crawl into the rice jar and no longer regard the barren Hexi Corridor as a fundamental.
If Gao Qiu rushed into Hexi at this time, he would win without fighting, which would be a high probability of an incident.
"This is the best." Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction.
Unlike the situation in history, because of the efforts of Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu, the Western Xia had become the Anxi Army of the Song Dynasty. This battle also exaggerated Zhao Ji's confidence. In his opinion, in another ten or eight years, the Song Dynasty would be ready to fight the Khitan in the northern expedition.
By then, it would be very important to stabilize the Hexi Army. In any case, they could not stand with the Khitan, provoke a new war in the northwest, and restrain the power of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Ji was so enthusiastic about the Great Education Corps and the Hexi Army's Western Expedition, which was also due to this consideration.
If the Hexi can be settled by using the method of inducing disasters to the outside world, the Song Dynasty will be able to deal with the Khitans with peace of mind.
After meeting Ji Yi and Zhang Yuan, Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wu Haogu, who was still in the hall: "Dalang, do you think Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun will be really led to Tianzhu?"
"Yes." Wu Haogu answered without hesitation.
“Why?”
"Because they still owe the Great Education and Cultivation Group 2 million yuan!"
“Is 2 million tins a lot?”
"Not much," Wuhao Ancient Road, "but it's not clear yet. Unless the King of Xiping is willing to march into India, he will still owe more debts."
That 2 million is interest! 400,000 a year is not a sharp increase, but 400,000 is also an astronomical figure for the Hexi Army.
As for the first target of the Hexi Army, the Hei Khan Uighurs, who were actually miserable and poor. The four towns of Anxi are not densely populated and fertile land. There is no money to scrape. The real wealth is Persia and India. Therefore, the Hexi Army will definitely lose money when it comes to attacking the four towns of Anxi. If you want to get it back, you must go to the Persia or India.
"Really?" Zhao Ji was skeptical.
Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Please rest assured that the Great Educational Group will not allow the King of Xiping to repay the debt."
Zhao Ji asked with a smile: "What if my son Zhao Qianshun refuses to pay the debt?"
"With Gao Qiu in Lingzhou, how dare King Xiping beg for debt?"
"Hahaha..." Zhao Ji laughed, "That's right! You can feel at ease in this way."
At this moment, a gate Xuanzan walked in from outside the door and bowed to Zhao Ji: "The criminal Zhong Fu has brought it."
"Supreme him in."
"Here."
Soon after, the Guanmen Xuanzan left the hall and smiled at Zhong Fu who was waiting outside, saying, "You are blessed. The official family is in a happy mood today and can always avoid your sins. Come and enter the hall quickly."
Zhong Fu quickly bowed to Xuanzan, stuffed a silver penis over, and then tidied up his clothes and followed Xuanzan into the hall gate.
This Chongzheng Hall is a newly built house. The design is a bit different from the one in the old imperial city. The surrounding windows are very large, and there is another circle of windows between the double eaves of the hip roof, so the lighting in the hall is very good.
Deep inside the hall, the current official in regular clothes sat behind the desk. A military officer in purple robe and sword stood beside the imperial desk. It was Wu Haogu. In addition, there was a small yellow gate of the Imperial Medicine Academy in each corner of the hall, and there was no one else.
Wu Haogu can actually bring a sword into the hall! Zhong Fu looked at the long sword that Wu Haogu was carrying. It should be a real guy who is usually qualified to "bring an imperial equipment", so he only brought a feather arrow with a broken arrow. Those who can carry a real guy are all real confidants!
No wonder he dared to be the leader of the military training and dared to be aware of the Privy Council. But wasn’t Yizu also the confidant of the Later Zhou Dynasty?
Wu Haogu is still studying too little, and he is seeking death!
After cursing Wu Haogu in his heart, Zhong Fu gave a great ceremony to Zhao Ji and called him a guilty minister.
Zhao Ji said in a deep voice: "Flat." Then he was silent for a while before saying: "Fu Zhong, you are a literary talent, why should you change it to a military officer?"
Because I'm stupid!
Of course, Zhong Fu did not dare to tell the truth, but said, "Because my minister's intention to be successful, I also want to lead troops to fight for the court..."
"Oh." Zhao Ji nodded, "Would you like to lead troops for the court?"
"I am willing..."
Zhong Fu's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Wu Haogu and thought to himself: Isn't this guy going to pull me to jump into the fire pit, right?
"Okay!" Zhao Ji nodded, "I will give you a chance to redeem your sins. The commander of the model new army commander of the SGS will be sent to the SGS.
Zhong Fu was stunned and quickly refused: "I don't understand the new military system of the military, how can I take on this position?"
He is now scared by the military training. Before, Cai Jing was in a position to be in a mess and he was still in a vague way to the Censor Prison.
Now without Cai Jing, the big tree, can those censors let him go? They must be impeached every day! The so-called three people become tigers, and they will be impeached and guilty if they have nothing to do!
Besides, how could I not have any guilt for being an official for so many years? I will definitely dig it out for the censors.
After the case, Zhao Ji smiled and said, "The military system of the new government soldiers has not been drafted yet, and no one understands it. And didn't Zhong Qing join the Quick Martial Arts School under the Rumor-refuting Academy? After Tao Jiefu took office, the Quick Martial Arts School will be reopened. You can study for a few months first, and after you finish your studies, you will discuss the military system with the military computer room of the Privy Council."
Wu Haogu has long known how to formulate the military system. However, this contribution is so hot that Wu Haogu dare not take it alone. So he followed the formal procedures, and the military computer room and the martial arts school jointly drafted the draft, and then the two government officials held a collaborative discussion, and finally approved and implemented by Zhao Ji.
Moreover, he didn't need to personally master the model new army because he was different from the later generations of Yuan Datou. He was not a simple warlord, but a school leader, a chaebol and a warlord. If he could expand the power of the empirical school by forming a model army, it would be equivalent to strengthening himself.
Speaking of this, Zhao Ji leaned forward again and looked at Zhong Fu and said, "You were training soldiers for Cai Jing before, but this time you were training soldiers for me, which is different!"
There is something in Zhao Ji's words, but how can't Zhong Fu hear it? You agreed to train for Cai Jing before. Now if you refuse to train for the official, then... haha! Military officers can be beheaded!
Chapter completed!
